Note di degustazione
Once again super-impressive, the 2016 Chardonnay Ross Station Estate is powerful and explosive, with a real sense of phenolic intensity that drives the wine. Dried apricot, chamomile, almond and lightly honeyed notes all meld together in this deeply expressive, layered Chardonnay. Lightly tropical and butter notes add character, but above all else the Ross Station is a wine of power and breath.

The 2016 Chardonnay Ross Station Estate features notes of key lime pie, lemon meringue and white peaches with a subtext of clotted cream, brioche, toasted almonds and a waft of cinnamon. Full-bodied, concentrated and oh-so-decadent in the mouth, the satiny textured palate features bags of citrus and spice flavors with a very long, invigorating finish. 541 cases were made.
The 2016 Chardonnay Ross Station Estate is powerful and explosive in this vintage. Tropical fruit, baked apple, almond, honey and buttery notes all blossom in the glass. In 2016, the Ross Station is a bit more exotic and flamboyant than it often is. This large, ample Chardonnay is going to need time to be at its very best. Even with all of its size, the 2015 has quite a bit of detail.
